The Joy of Positivity: Johnny Handsome (1989)

Walter Hill’s 1989 Neo-noir Johnny Handsome has the spooky, archetypal feel of a hard-boiled fairy tale about a brutal beast of a man who is made beautiful by kindly helpers, only to fall victim to the ugliness in his soul and an all-consuming hunger for revenge. Alternately, it has the pleasantly disorienting vibe of a waking dream.
